No, kerosene is a classic nonpolar solvent and permanganate is a salt.You might be able to pursuade an alcohol mixture with a few % water todissolve enough permanganate to be hypergolic with peroxide, but I'dguess that the solubility would be poor and the salt would be in dangerof crystallizing out.

For kerosene, it might be possible to add a touch of diethyl zinc tomake it hypergolic with peroxide yet not make it pyrophoric with moistair. Having worked with DEZ in the distant past, that's not a game I'dlike to play myself.

I'm happy with a good simple augmented spark igniter since it works withanything we've picked from column A and column B. (And with six you geteggroll.)

We haven't tried it with kerosene, but that's just personal prejudice-I'm confident that it too would light off nicely.
